In her response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Feb. 7, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders came down heavily on the administration’s tax policies burdening Americans who are already struggling with decades-high inflation.

“In the radical left’s America, Washington taxes you and lights your hard-earned money on fire. But you get crushed with high gas prices, empty grocery shelves,” Sanders said in her response. Businesses in the United States are set to face a bigger federal tax burden in 2023 due to Democrat policies and the phasing out of Republican tax overhauls, combined with an expected raise in corporate minimum tax for billion-dollar companies.
